The specification should be clearer that for SGML-based documents (as
opposed to XML-based documents), the parsing rules may mean that things
that look like child nodes aren't actually child nodes (since STYLE has
CDATA parsing according to the HTML4 DTD, and is generally implemented
far closer to that than to normal parsing).  If you specify anything
precisely regarding this, please write testcases to make sure it matches
what's actually implemented, which is probably what's required by the
Web.
